The companies claim that Project Alexandria was referred to by Goldman developers. Amazon showed Goldman one technique: “Working backwards,” which is when the tech titan creates FAQs and a press release to inform managers about its importance.

The way they get paid is that we receive more of their wallet shares because our overall experience and the services that we provide give us more mindshare, greater opportunities to trade and finance them.
